No, that symbol contains the full scope over which you've known your dad,
plus anything you've learned about him before. However, there are narrower
contextual scopes in which you may make specific claims about that may not
always be true (my Dad when I was 12, for instance).

Alan,
In this example, the referent and the context is still the same – it’s the
relationship between you and Danny defining him as your Dad although you may
have a different view of him as a 10-year old and now; I think this example is
tangential to the problem of the URI for Dad.

My dad's name is Danny. I've known him a Long time, during which he's
changed a lot. Am I supposed to stop calling him dad because he's not
precisely the same as he was when I was 10?

Hi David,
We've discussed this in the past. You confuse what a uri refers to with the
framework by which a reasoner tries to figure out what entailments can be
made given some set of assertions.
It's as if I say something about my friend Jonathan Rees, and you think you

Observing this discussions for quite a while, I have to say that I fully agree
with Jim’s comments - unless you can assert that the referent is the same AND
the contextual scope is the same, it should not have the same URI as it does
not precisely describe the same thing.
Cordially,
Erich
Hmm. In the end, all three of them are talking about the same apple. Either
a) the apple changed (they do that), or b) someone got it wrong (Is a
McIntosh a red apple or green apple? It's kind of both).
This of course goes to my general assertion that most of the time,
disjointness assertions are

An opinion? It is direct consequence of standard RDF Semantics! Read

Well, you'd better get used to it, because that interpretation is
standard RDF Semantics. I don't think it's going away any time soon.

Interesting discussion,
I would just add a bit (if it was not added in this long email series):
perhaps it is viable to assert owl:sameAs between individuals.
If you identify a person by passport number or tax number, you can collapse all
statements about the two pretty safely (assuming you cons
I'm thinking of using fda orangebook data in my mashup which includes
dbpedia, drugbank, diseasesome, linkedct etc. AFAIK there is no rdf

coding a custom
Very nice!

I think he's looking for something like skos:exactMatch/skos:closeMatch but
for things other than concepts, which is (I would argue) prov:alternateOf.

I see Nanopublications as providing a framework for modality. They, of
course, use named graphs to do this, but they provide a way to express
attribution and justification in a consistent manner. http://nanopub.org

David's assertion that a uri can mean different things in different graphs
is an opinion that does not concur with either the web specifications nor
the goals they were built to satisfy. Caveat emptor.

Medical records are filled with modal assertions:

Jim believes P(x) (whereas e..g. perhaps David, Umutcan, Jeremy and I

I see "A URI denotes only one resource" as a rule of the game that makes it
far more interesting than if we don't accept that rule. If I find that
someone is violating that rule, I'll kick them out of my game (exclude
their graph).

I'm not terribly interested in a Humpty Dumpty interpretation of the web of

Hi Jim,
You are in good company in thinking that a URI always denotes the same
resource, because that is a widespread misconception. (I call it Myth
#1 in http://dbooth.org/2010/ambiguity/paper.html .) But it simply is
not true in the RDF semantics.
